Christmas Number One
Every year there is always considerable interest in
what song is at number one in the charts for Christmas but this year we would
appeal to all our supporters to help make a very special song number one. The
song “My Hero” was written by students of Presentation Secondary School,
Clonmel is a tribute to their teacher Alice Strain who was tragically killed
during the year. Alice was of course a sister of Vera Collins and it would be
great to see this wonderful tribute to Alice beat off stiff competition from X
Factor etc to claim the number one spot. The song can be downloaded from itunes
and all profits from the single go to the St. Vincent de Paul Charity. If
possible please download the song by midnight on Thursday night.

Tickets are currently on sale from any Club Committee
member for our Annual Christmas Raffle which will take place in Minnies Bar on
Monday night, December 23rd at 9pm. Tickets are priced at €2 each or
three for €5 and we ask all our supporters to please support the draw.
Best Wishes
Last week our own Gary Hurney announced his retirement
from the Inter County Football team and all of us in the club would like to
congratulate Gary on his distinguished career with the County. Over the course
of his career Gary represented his County in both codes at Minor, Under 21 and
Senior, as well as playing Inter Provincial Football for Munster on a number of
occasions. Throughout this time Gary remained totally committed to his club and
despite suffering a number of very serious injuries the number of games that he
missed could nearly be counted on one hand. Once again we congratulate Gary,
not on his retirement, but on what he achieved during his playing days with the
county and we hope to continue to see him lining out for us for many years to
come, whilst he enjoys a little bit more time with Tammy, Lochlain and Jarlath.
Club Bingo
This Sunday our Club Bingo continues in the CBS Hall
where the jackpot is €700.
Team Managers
Anybody who is interested in managing any of our adult
teams next year is asked to inform Jonathan O’Donovan by January 8th.
Club Social
Our Club Social has been fixed for Saturday February
15th in the Park Hotel, and we will have more details on this in the
coming weeks. It promises to be a great night where we will be presenting medals to our victorious Senior and Under 21 Football teams and our Junior Hurling
Team.
Seasons Greetings
On behalf of all in the club we would like to wish all
our members a Happy and Peaceful Christmas. We would also like to welcome home
any members who have traveled home for Christmas, and it is great to see Daryl
Ryan and Eoin Brackett home from Australia for the Christmas period. Finally we
would like to thank the editor and staff of the Dungarvan Leader and Dungarvan
Observer for all their help and assistance throughout the year and wish them a
Merry Christmas. Nollaig Shona agus Athbhliain faoi Mhaise daoibh go léir.
